It's a tale of two children. One is a rule follower and the other a rule breaker. I love them dearly, but it can be a challenge to get everyone on the same page. Thankfully, iRewardChart is a well made app that enables me to track their chores but more importantly, it encourages them to participate. Not only can they see their progress, as they perform daily household activities, but I've begun to let them checkoff their tasks as they complete them. The rule breaker actually likes this as she can get a visual and audible recognition and she has some control... that's her big thing. The rule follower likes it because it's structured, reliable, and most importantly, high-tech.
